Sitting for much of the day, as most of us do, contributes to tight hip flexors. In addition, a sedentary lifestyle is associated with weakness in the hip muscles — not just the hip flexors but also the muscles that oppose them, such as the glutes, hamstrings, and abductors.  Tightness and weakness of the hip flexors can cause the pelvis to tilt forward, leading to back and hip pain and tight hamstrings, compromised breathing and weak core and injury.  

Practicing hip mobility and strengthening helps to restore equilibrium and alignment in your hips and core.    If you want to learn more come along to a class
